Dots Not Disappoint
The New Discovery for Catarrh Seems 1o
'Possess Remarkable Merit.
A new catarrh euro has reeently appeared
which so far as tested has bocn remarkably
successful In curing all forms of catarrh,
whether In. tho head, throat, bronchial
tubes, or In stomach nnd liver.
Tho remedy Is In tablet form, pleasant
and convenient to tako and no spoclal so
crccy Is maintained as to what It contains,
tho tablot being a scientific combination of
Blood root, Hod gum and similar valuablo
and harmless ilntlsoptlcs.
The safe and effective catarrh cure may
bo found at any drug storo undor tho name
of Stuart'B Catarrh Tablets.
Whothor tho catarrh Is located In the
nose, throat, bronchial tubes, or stomach,
the tablets seem to act with equal success,
removing tho stuffy fooling In head and
nose, clearing the mucous membrane of
throat and trachea from catarrhal aocr.e
tlons, which cause tho tickling, coughing,
hawking nnd gagging1 so annoying to every
catarrh sufferer.
Nasal catarrh genorally loads to ulcera
tion; in somo cases to such an extent as to
destroy tho nose entirely and in many old
cases of catarrh the bones of tho head he
come diseased. NaBal catarrh gradually
extends to the throat and bronchial tubes
and very often to the stomach, causing that
very obstlnato trouble, catarrh of the stom
ach.
Catarrh Is a systemic poison, Inherent In
the blood, and local washes, douches,
salves, Inhalers and sprays can have no ef
fect on the real cause of the dlsoaso. An
Internal remedy which aots upon tho b'lood
Is the only rational treatment and. Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets la tho safest of all Internal
remedies, as well as tho most conveni
ent and satisfactory from a medical stand
point.
Dr. Eaton recently stated that he had
Uoaesstully used Stuart's Catarrh Tablots
In old chronlo cases, even where ulceration
had extended so far as to destroy the sep
turn of the nose. He says, "I am pleasantly
surprised almost .every day by the excellent
results from Stuart's Catarrh Tablets. It
it remarkable how effectively tboy removo
the excessjve secretion and bring about a
healthy condition of the mucous membranes
of the nose, throat and stomach.

the Tablets at' SO cents and a little book
giving thoi symptoms and causes of the
various forms of catarrh, will bo mailed
